I was planning ahead for my next convention and was considering only packing enough cosplays for two days, and just wearing casual clothes, and maybe a wig on Friday, which is the slow day at the convention I go to, so I could relax and shop. Does anyone else skip a day of cosplaying, or do you cosplay for the entire convention?

Once upon an evening dreary, while I lurked weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten posts,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a bitching,
As of some one gently pitching, bitching at my chamber door.
`'Tis JasonTerror,' I muttered, `bitching at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'

There's certainly nothing wrong with it; it's quite common. Personally I usually don't, because I'm going to spend every possible second in cosplay when I only get three cons a year, and I usually pack a comfier costume to wear along with a fancy one. My boyfriend, on the other hand, is far less serious a cosplayer and usually only cosplays one day of the con unless there's an event or photoshoot on a second day to put it on again for. Lol, he gets to be my pack-mule, foot-rubber, "help me get this wig off"-er and prop carrier on the other days. XD

There's a vibe here that says "We're in this together!Through thick and thin fabric! Through cold water washes and burning hot irons! Though we might super glue ourselves to our projects, cut holes/gashes/oh-god-mom's-gonna-kill-me into the dining room table, we will stand strong together. Unless there is a 75% off sale at the Fabric store. Then you're on your own. And get the hell out of my way."<3

It totally depends on the cosplays I have. If I wore them, and didn't like them all that much, or they were uncomfortable(like high heels, or annoying long wigs), then I usually relax on Sunday. But if it's a cosplay that I spent a ton of money on, I'm totally going to wear it on Sunday

Like some others said. It just depends on my mood too. If I'm feeling a little lazy or exhausted from the cosplay I just take it off for a couple of hours before switching to the next one, or just don't wear one for the night. That is, if I have a hotel room. LOL I always cosplay at least once a day all three days for a little while. It's not a requirement to cosplay all three days of course.

It's totally normal! After one day of a convention, I usually go wearing my casual clothes since depending on the shoes I wear for my cosplay, they always tend to strain my foot since half of my cosplay shoes, the heels are made out of wood and can get uncomfortable after a couple hours of walking.
If the weathers beautiful, I wear a costume that is light but if the weathers a bit chilly, I always bring a much a costume that is perfect for a chilly day.
It's totally up to you.

on day 0 i normally wear a simple cosplay thats not that important but still a real character. i only get to go to two cons per year if im lucky. at my last con i went to i thought i had to wear something over my cosplay but i did not so that really ruined my mood for the whole con no one reconized my character.

if i don't want to wear my primary cosplay or my simple one i have an oc cosplay in stow just in case thats really comfortable and easy to wear.

This is the first year that I've had more than one costume for a con, so I've always had two days out of cosplay. Even now, with costumes for all three days, I'm considering just doing two. Cosplay can be really tiring, and it's nice to just walk around in your usual clothes, wig-free, for a while.

I can usually only go to the Saturday and Sunday of a con so on Saturday I'll wear my fancier cosplay and I usually have a comfy/easy cosplay for Sunday. Last con I went to I just did not feel like cosplaying on Sunday, so I wouldn't be opposed to skipping a day of cosplay.

Haven't skipped a day yet. I do wear a more elaborate costume one day and and a more comfortable cosplay the other day, that way I can give myself an opportunity to look around and buy stuff in the dealer room without fearing my prop gets in my way or accidentaly knocks something over.
